Pros & Cons

I'm sure we've all heard this saying in all different forms with it having many different meanings, "You only live once".  This 15 letter, 4 word sentence can apply to almost anything and everything in your life.  Everyone is always afraid  of the word "regret".  Afraid to regret doing or not doing something in your life with opportunity knocks.

Regret: to feel sad, repentant, or disappointed over (something that has happened or been done, esp. a loss or missed opportunity).

Regret is part of life.  But I'd like to "regret" the least amount of my life as humanly possible.  However, that's not always easy or possible.  So for me, the best possible way to try not to regret something is to lay out a "Pros & Cons" list.  

I have a potential opportunity coming up that would be a chance of a lifetime and quite possibly a life-alternating experience.  I've been verbally making this list via phone with my parents.  I plan to share what this said "opportunity" is as soon as it becomes more set in stone.  So fingers crossed things work out and I get to share it with you!

I feel as though many great opportunities are sometimes lost or given up because of money.  As much as we'd all love to have a life time supply, or just enough to pay the bills, money is unfortunately a HUGE part of our lifestyle.  So I'm treating this opportunity as a chance to really work hard, more overtime hours and Saturdays with one goal in mind... All this hard work WILL pay off and WILL be worth it!

So in conclusion:
Keep your dreams, hopes, wants, and desires alive because they are worth it!
Regret will happen but with hard work you can kick regret's ass and make your life whatever you want it to be!
Continue to dream and dream big!
